The track actually never appeared on the show but fans have recreated their own videos versions using “Bloody Mary”
In the series, Wednesday played by Jenny Ortega appears in a dance sequence featuring the music of The Cramps 1981 single “Goo Goo Muck.”
Fans took the clip to TikTok but replaced “Goo Goo Muck” with a sped-up version of “Bloody Mary,” which then went viral.
Bloody Mary has been used in nearly 4 million videos on the platform to date. Lady Gaga herself participated in the trend, in which she re-created the dance, garnering more than 12 million views according to Billboard
“Bloody Mary” is Lady Gaga her 36th career entry on the Hot 100, and first since last year’s Top Gun: Maverick anthem “Hold My Hand” in 2022.
